Hermit Crab Names: Lists of cute, funny, girl and boy names
Hermit crab names can add extra personality and fun to your crabitat. Giving your hermit crabs a name not only adds a touch of individuality but when you give them names, they will inevitably become more important! Whether you’re looking for cool unique names, funny quirky names, or girl or boy names, here are some lists to help!
A personal note: many pet owners of fish, chickens, parakeets and yes, also hermit crabs, choose not to give their pets names. Naming pets can create a greater attachment to them, and when they die, the loss could feel bigger.
To name your hermit crabs, or NOT to name your hermit crabs… which is better? It’s a personal choice, and one I’ve landed right in the middle of.
All of my hermit crabs, for decades, have been named Fred. It started as a joke: I told people it’s easier to train hermit crabs to come, if they are all named the same.

Conclusion
Naming your hermit crab is a fun way to add personality to your habitat (crabitat!). And when they’re named, chances are you’ll pay more attention to them. This is important because hermit crabs, once you give them a healthy habitat, can be easy to forget about if you work a lot or have a busy life.
They’re quiet and don’t complain, and you want to avoid neglecting them. So name your hermit crab pets, and teach them to come! (that’s a joke, hermit crabs won’t learn to come no matter how much popcorn and coconut you feed them).
